In a press briefing at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), “Bikoy” identified himself as Peter Joemel Advincula. He claimed he was a former marketing executive at a company called VitaPlus based in the Bicol region.

(This is being led by Paolo Duterte, Christopher Bong Tesoro Go, and Manases Carpio, husband of Sara Duterte of the Davao Group, and the whole Quadrangle Group from Bicol.)

In the viral videos, Advincula claimed that he was a former member of a drug syndicate. He showed transaction records of bank transfers to accounts supposedly owned by some of the President’s close allies and relatives.

Advincula denied being connected to any election candidate or political party, even to the senatorial slate of the opposition.

He likewise denied any connection with media personalities and institutions included in the supposed ouster plot matrix published in a newspaper and confirmed by Malacañang on April 22.

He said he also does not know Rodel Jayme who created the metrobalita.net website where the videos were uploaded.
